About Justine
Your Melbourne Celebrant
I’m a Melbourne-based authorised marriage celebrant who found my calling after nearly a decade working at one of the Dandenong Ranges’ most loved wedding venues. Being surrounded by love and celebration inspired me to become part of the moment where every wedding truly begins — the ceremony — creating experiences that feel deeply personal.
At heart, I’m a people person, also a qualified naturopath, with a background in customer service, hospitality and communication. Outside weddings you’ll find me lost in nature or in a good book, travelling, finding gold in a second-hand store or trading movie quotes with my family.
My focus is getting to know you, your story and your dreams, so I can craft a ceremony that feels relaxed, meaningful and a true reflection of your relationship. Think of me as your guide, offering clarity, reassurance, and gentle direction throughout your journey.
If you’d like to chat and see whether we’re the right fit, I’d love to connect and talk about how I can create a ceremony that truly honours the significance of your day.

Additional Services
1
Renewal of Vows
A renewal of vows is a meaningful, symbolic ceremony where a couple re-commits to their marriage and celebrates the journey they’ve shared. It can take place anywhere - in your backyard, at your favourite bar, or surrounded by family and friends in a place that feels special to you.
Vow renewals often appeal to couples celebrating a milestone anniversary, those wanting to relive the joy of their original wedding day (or create the celebration they didn’t have the first time), and couples who wish to include children, grandchildren, or blended families in a heartfelt moment of togetherness.
2
Commitment Ceremony
This ceremony looks and feels like a wedding, just without the legally binding component. It’s a symbolic celebration where a couple publicly declares their love and lifelong commitment to one another. You can include personal vows, rings, music, readings - anything that makes the moment meaningful to you.
A commitment ceremony is ideal for couples who prefer to avoid the formalities or legalities of marriage, are not legally able to marry, have already completed the legal paperwork elsewhere, or simply want to honour and celebrate a long-term partnership in a heartfelt, personal way.
3
Funeral or Memorial
A heartfelt, personalised ceremony that honours a life with dignity, warmth, and authenticity. I offer compassion, empathy and calm guidance during this difficult time working closely with families to create a meaningful farewell that reflects your loved one’s story, values, and the memories you hold dear.
